This little story appeared in the ‘Public Nme’ section of an edition of the UK musical magazine NME.

No idea if it’s true.

Food good. Plenty to drink. Hotel* wonderful. Weather pish!

Sums up my 5-day endurance test away to T in the Park 2010 perfectly. Yes, I’ve been on a wee holiday folks, so apologies for the lack of FHJ posts.

There’s not a lot been happening in the land of Trashcan memorabilia, but I did come across these two postcards from way back in 1993. These were sent out to fans on the mailing list updating them on what the band were up to.

The first one is for the release of second album ‘I’ve Seen Everything’ and the second one is for the release of the single of the same name. This one also includes some tour dates.

First class!
